Since I found out that today was the real thanksgiving and here in FL the sun is out, now what do I do?  I have had a Thanksgiving day nap…I guess I will make a turkey sandwich…too bad it’s not real turkey and the packaged stuff…darn…and I missed the dressing and all…I guess I will just have to find some place to have a turkey dinner some place for a cut rate price…cause I sure don’t feel like cooking the whole thing…

Rock and Roll.   And FREEDOM!!!!!

I am thankful that a friend is picking me up  to take me to a meeting…but in the words of William Wallace….  “FREEDOM”

Just in case ya didn’t hear me,

“FREEDOM”

Well, here it is Thanksgiving and I am staying at home.  I made homemade chicken soup.  I could have gone to the park’s Thanksgiving celebration if I had signed up.  But, I did not.  Every day I would walk home and be to tired to go in to do so…so here it is and I am staying home by myself…I see the Post Office out delivering the mail…I would up being hungry and ate a turkey sandwich any way …I do almost every day…The only thing I missed was mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce…well, I guess real turkey would have been nice…

In the mean time I have been playing games on Facebook and first thing I noticed was that all of my armies on Castles and Vampires were missing…Never even checked the gold or blood or whatever…Then in Mafia one of my people shows up as a Face Book customer…Was my bodyguard…So I decided look into downloading Mozilla Firefox just for fun…wow…is it fast on everything…So I will check it out on other things and see what’s happing…But for now…I got all my crops taken care of and I need to go back later and help out my neighbors and send some more gifts to them…Think I will cruise the internet for now…on Firefox…

Darn, I just found out that today was Wednesday not Thursday…LOL…I mean talk about being embarrassed…When I called my regular daily call…I found out that the whole day that I thought that it was Thanksgiving Thursday it was actually Wednesday.  I am really lost without my watch and the date on it…What would I have done had I not even had a watch?   So I spend all day thinking it was Thanksgiving, trying not to feel down…rock and roll.  Let’s do it again tomorrow…And I have not even had anything to drink….Lord have mercy. 

I could not figure out why the garbage was running, or the post office was delivering…I was a day early and still a dollar short…

I went to the bank today.  At least it only takes one bus to get there…I had to take out a payday loan to cover the charges the hit me.  After I checked my PayPal, I found out that I had another charge go through and another $27 for another overdraft…Damn…So, my You too can make money with Google has cost me 2.97 plus 1.00 plus 54.00 for overdraft charges added to rounded off 150…plus another 27…all adds up to a grand total of $235  of you, too can make money with Google…So far, the bank has made money, and some place called FastBlogZone.com has made money all off of me…I should have just taken $235 and gone down to Manatee Community College and signed up for a course, which I may yet…I just will have to schedule it before the buses stop running…That is a long walk home…

Unless I really could do something with FastBlogZone…which is doubtful…I am really tired of the bullshit stories that the love scam artists have.  They are not even artists.

They should check with each other…Now I have floating in my head…Vengeance is Mine…Says the LORD,  I will repay…meaning…I should not bother…and let him…

So I guess I will and just go play games or read some…maybe let them go tonight…

Arrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

I received the above from one of my “Friends” Mafia members on Facebook.  I think Mark Zuckerberg would have probably done a spell check…Maybe?  But, that is why I am getting more memory…That is why I closed out another account…And now I am pissed off…I have been targeted more than once by Love Scams…ready to go to Ghana..but too F..kng broke.  Been hit by a you can make money on a Google website…Got me…Now I am pissed off…really pissed off…I am ready to start deleting everything in site…just may go back to watching TV and to hell with the internet…Naaaaahhhh….Where else can ya kill people and get away with it?

When you find yourself googling yourself and finding yourself and not remembering how your got to the website that you found yourself on, you are on information overload.

"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...

it's about learning how to dance in the rain!"

Just a quick test through the systems…

I shoulda read this first and maybe I did but did not pay attention read it …She needed food stuff… I DONE BEEN SCAMMED…WATCH OUT…AFTER I WASH MY CLOTHES,

I am going to fight some battles on Facebook!!!  ROFLOL…

Love scam: Some scammers are a little tougher to find. They will express their deep love for you (even though they've never met you) and will soon discuss wanting to meet you in person. They will often say they've singled out your profile. More often than not the letter looks like it's generic (ie. a form letter designed for anyone). If it's a man, he'll be vague about his profession but will almost always mention that he travels extensively. It may take two to three letters, but he'll likely mention Nigeria (or just "West Africa"), South Africa or Malaysia. If it's a woman she'll likely mention Nigeria, GHANA (or just "West Africa"), Russia or Ukraine. The next step is to get you to send them money for some dire cause (mother is sick and needs an operation; can't pay a bill; stuck in a hotel with no money; need money desperately to save a business deal, etc.). Likewise, they may claim they wish to meet you and need you to purchase a plane ticket so they can visit you. This is very common request for Russian scammers. They will often mention that "age is just a number" or "distance is no barrier to love". This scam is often targeted to members 15-20 years their senior.

Trouble was…I was so broke…did not have any money to send them…ROFLOL…

So I get the name Felicia…Asiami…I look it up and there is this man pining after her…finally I neglect 2 nights of Mafia Wars and Farmville to spend with her sending me definitions of love.   

At any rate, I spent tonight talking with her and tonight, the bomb dropped with her asking for $50 for food.  After I told her that I had NO money and maybe she should send me some money…she wished me well and cut it off…

Now my heart is broken for sure…I will get over for sure because with 200 in your Mafia you can’t go wrong…LOL…

I realize reality snuck away from me for a while and now I am getting just down right angry for having been hurt…So I will have to go and take out on the games I play…Or, maybe clean my trailer…

Whew, its a good thing she is not coming over here….Maybe she changed her mind when I told her I snored. LOL…Oh well…I think she is just one sick woman who gets her kicks in hurting men or she is trying to con men out of money… 

But Darn I thought I met my true love part II…

As I lay in the water many years ago with the snakes crawling on me in that pond in Southeast Asia, I was scared and alone.  I did not remember until I started sobering up and stopped drinking…altogether. 

I thank the Lakota for dragging my ass to my first AA meeting out there on the Rez to begin the process of recovery.  Had I known it to be so painful, I may not have gone.

I continued and the memories flooded into me.  And Charles, you were one of them.  Charles Washington…I can almost feel you now as I held tight trying to keep the blood from flowing from your body.  Close to this time of the year.  The smells, every time I smell mold and mildew, it triggers something.  And you there, telling me to trust Jesus. 

But I couldn’t at that time…I used to be an acolyte in the Episcopal Church and I drifted in and out of various different Christian Churches.  I checked out the Elysian Tree Metaphysical Book Store up in Urbana, Illinois right next door to the sleazy movie.  That was when I read about Islam and other religions and somewhere learned how to plot horoscopes…

I was in there searching. I wanted to know why you died and I had stayed alive but I could not express it at the time because I did not even know myself.

Eventually after you told me to Trust Jesus and bleed to Death in my Arms, Charles, I thought I probably should at least read the Bible for your honor. So I bought a One Year Bible and read it through several times…Interesting book…

You were a trip, this big black man that reminded me of the South that I had grown up in with such deep faith that kept us all going over there and when I finally crawled out of that nasty water, standing there shaking out of cold, sweat, wet and fear and found you, and the other guy alive but he died before I could do anything.

You tried to help me, but the damned blood just kept spurting out of you.  It hurts so bad and I have to write this because I have to  show people what it’s like to survive.  Here it is some 44 years later and I have tears streaming down my face because I have chosen to get sober and deal with the feelings.

No wonder I really don’t like playing vampire games…I have had enough blood….and it was just a short few months…Not even are regular tour of duty…One of those black ops things that we love to do and then claim we haven’t even done…until there is a fuckup…. Why according to my records, I was not even there!

But, there are too many people with memories stumbling around and now a whole new generation coming up with sand in their boots instead of mold and mildew…God bless’em.  Well, Charles…I guess I will try to keep it together…I am still staying sober…keep cool good buddy and stay dry.

Published a day late for Veterans Day.

Darn, I thought I’d met my true love and I missed a night of my games on Face book.  All my crops will be withered maybe or overgrown on my farm, my neighbors howling on the other thing…All ready I have people wanting to join Castle thing…Boy my memory is messed up.  I have to check out which vitamin I really need and get it…

I bad enough that I have a hard time keeping up with the games on Face Book and then I go and check out a Christian Dating thing….and have some young woman want to meet me right off the bat…Right away it sets off alarms….Natasha….Natasha…Warning, Natasha…

The one thing about being burned on a computer is that it rarely happens again.  So the story is the first time that she needs to come from Russia, I just need to send her some money to start the immigration process.  I am so broke, I am waiting for the woman to bring me home. ROFLOL.  Ain’t gonna happen, boy.  That’s Southern talk for put your head back on your shoulders, boy.

Well, So I bring this picture to a meeting I go to regularly and this guy  there says, out loud “That’s Natasha!”  He knew the story as he had looked into the same thing on the computer…Ever since then my sponsor in this program kids me about Natasha this and Natasha that….

So I join this Christian Dating thing…and right away there are all kinds of women…her story is that she is in Ghana…29 years old…good looking picture…that’s the problem with the picture…I could send a picture of a good looking woman and it really would be me…

Darn I thought I’d met my true love…

Happy Veterans Day to all the Veterans who served in any war any where…

While looking at websites about Afghanistan, I say to myself, just get the hell out of there, the Russians couldn’t do it, what makes us think we can?  Oh, that’s right, they attacked us. 

Well, didn’t they attack us in the Bay of Tonkin?  Isn’t that the whole idea?  We are not aggressors.  We defend liberty, justice and the American way.  But, I really don’t buy it anymore.  Nor, do I buy the liberal point of view either. 

It doesn’t really really matter who is in office at the time, Democrat or Republican, what matters is the economy.  Right now, the economy sucks.  And if you were to bring back all of the young men who were serving overseas back home, what jobs would they come home to?  So I say increase the troops by the 10% that is unemployed, then it will look like employment is okay…Sounds like a great plan, huh?  So, I’d show this to someone in the higher up.

Now, we have someone going whacko in Ft.Hood. But, he gets shot by civilian police who evidently are trained not to kill.  What happened to shoot to kill?   And I ride the bus and after I mention the flags being flown at half mast, this kid whips up his arm to show his crescent moon and star tattoo.  So is he Muslim?  

Does that mean I should be afraid to ride the bus or convert to Islam?  What is the difference between Muslim and Islam anyway?  Can you be Muslim and be my friend with me being a Christian, or it just as bad as within Christianity, and we all are trying to convert each other to our own respective denominations.  Or is that about money, too?  Where is Robin Hood when you need him?  Ft. Hood…Hmmmmm

Three cheers for the merry men! 

1 Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me.

So my Jeep breaks down, and I  now have to learn how schedule shopping and do all the things I used to do by Jeep by public transportation.  I go to a regular meeting, since I am a friend of Bill W.’s. Every morning I go out of the house, and I get down to the bus stop in time so I will not miss the 99 bus so I can connect with the 3 bus westbound. 

The 99 bus is an interesting bus because it runs to and from Palmetto, FL and to the transit station in Sarasota, FL. on Fruitville Rd.  They supposedly  alternate runs between Manatee County Area Transit (MCAT) and Sarasota County Area Transit (SCAT).  A SCAT –MCAT situation.  There is actually a cat as symbol for the transit on Manatee’s transit system…Scat cat….   cute….

Most mornings I can see the bus pull up to the corner of Cortez and 14th St W around 8:25 AM and reach me about 8:30 AM with a 5 min lay over at Desoto Station. It is the SCAT bus that reaches this time.  Once before this month and for the last two mornings the bus has just sat there and sat there and sat there.  This resulted in late connections.

Yesterday, I made it to the meeting late.  Today I came home and changed clothes and missed the bus and missed the meeting.  My own actions exacerbated the situation.

Monday we will see what happens again…And we, the riders are trying to get a Sunday run…Good luck to us…

For those who need a picture,
To the Congress:

BEWARE�.. WE THE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING.
WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ELECTION.

For those who need a picture,
To the Congress:

The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - you have had 234 years to get it right; it is broke.

Social Security was established in 1935 - you have had 74 years to get it right; it is broke.
 
Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - you have had 71 years to get it right; it is broke.
 
The "War on Poverty" started in 1964 - you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor"; it hasn't worked and our entire country is broke.

Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - you've had 44 years to get it right; they are broke.
 
Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - you have had 39 years to get it right; it is broke.
 
Trillions of dollars were spent in the massive political payoffs called TARP, the "Stimulus", the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009... none show any signs of working, although ACORN appears to have found a new source: the American taxpayer.
And finally, to set a new record:
 
"Cash for Clunkers" was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! It took cars (that were the best some people could afford) and replaced them with high-priced and less-affordable cars, mostly Japanese. A good percentage of the profits went out of the country. And the American taxpayers take the hit for Congress' generosity in burning three billion more of our dollars on failed experiments.

So with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that "services" you shove down our throats are failing faster and faster, you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system?

20% of our entire economy?

With all due respect,

Are you crazy?

Well, I am trucking right along with my new bank’s bill pay and checking things out.  I have been paying the State of Illinois regularly $25.00 a month on my bill pay no matter who was my bank.  But, I must have stepped on a toe some where, because out of the blue and Illinois shows up,  the “Guess what we are garnishing your Social Security notice.”  So, just in case, I call the 800 number, listen to elevator music and finally get a human being.  I guess the woman was shocked because when I have no control over things, I don’t get upset.  I just wanted to make sure…My oldest son is now 25 years old, and here I am still paying child support.  Neither one to my knowledge benefit from my payments.  I think only the state of Illinois is getting some back dollars. 

Well, if the Social Security goes bust, then Illinois is screwed.  They are considered my employer.  Or maybe I should just go down to the office and start working and then ask for my paycheck no one would know the difference.  Just sit in a desk and go to work.  And come time to fill out the payroll, ask someone how to do it…Nah…to much like work.

So immediately, without hesitation I have removed Illinois’s payment for this month.  They certainly won’t send me a notice, huh?  If they garnish my SS, then I am down only 12 dollars, if not, then I am up 25.  What a juggle.  If I had only done this in my younger days with money.  I might have some now…

According to my calculations, I have about only 6 months left of Illinois….Then, I can start to deal with another predator, I mean creditor.

As I was headed out to do my laundry this morning I was trying to decide whether to leave my screen saver (which I really don’t have to run since I have a flat screen) on, and what to leave on it.  I decided to check out what the prescreen and what I might look like should I leave since its bright out and I have a few risqué things on the screen saver.  Well, I fire it up and here is the first picture that popped up…

Bill

I keep getting these emails in my junk file that say that I have received several thousand dollars throughout the world from people who have died and all I need to do is contact them to receive it.  I tried taking all of them to my bank to get credit for a several million dollar loan to buy something but, they won’t loan me the money.  All I would really want to do is pay off all my debts, but so far no one has sent me the real cashiers checks.  Darn…What did I do wrong.  My genuine attorney in Nigeria tells me to ignore most of them. LOL…in the meantime I have to get ready to walk down to the laudrymat do my laundry…Yesterday I did my shopping on the bus and walked home and forgot how hot it was…I am glad I had bought a dolly to use…In the meantime I guess everyone’s attorney will just keep checking out my bank account what I talk about.

Well, I am not generous!  It will not work.  If someone died, the attorney had better come meet me and talk to my representatives.  Then, I may listen.  Son, I have been in the military and survived all sorts of stuff…So save you time….
